Hey PB.

What's your take on the Archetypes? Are they significantly different from one another?

I thought it was a minor thing in Pathfinder - mostly for added flavor, but I see they've added a bunch of prestige-class related feats to some of them. For instance, it seems Hide in Plain Sight is part of an Archetype in this ruleset.

Sorry Dart, I don't think I'm the best person to answer that question - I actually never played around with any of them, been sticking to the plain boring generic/default classes. From my shallow understanding, yes, each archetype can be significantly different. I will jump on the game tomorrow and will take some screenshots for you with different archetype character sheet.

Also, here is the post of Kingmaker information some kind soul has been updating regularly. It's got the list of available archetypes and prestige classes as well.

Makes me think there's more depth in it than in 3.5.

They are similar to alternate classes in BG2. They are based on base class but get noticeable negatives and positives compared to them.
